Problem running XSP samples

[Pascal Houde <pa...@cactuscom.ca>]

I can't run any of the Cocoon 1.6 XSP samples. I always get a
"java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.w3c.dom.Node: method normalize()V not
found". See below for complete stack trace.

At the line where the error occur (XSPJavaPreprocessor.java:87) there's a
switch statement in the process(Node) method where it test the node type.
When it's an ELEMENT_NODE, it cast the Node object to an Element object and
calls the normalize method (line 115). It fails at that point.

I am using JRUN2.3.2/JSDK2.1/JDK1.2.2.
I am using Xerces 1.0.1 for my DOM implementation (I guess that the error is
here...).

Any comment are appreciated.
Thanks

Can we perhaps get a known good CLASSPATH posted on the web site to which
we can refer people who're having trouble?

I'll start. This is what I use:

CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/local/lib/java/xerces.jar
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/local/lib/java/projectx-tr2.jar
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/local/lib/java/openxml-1.1.jar
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/local/lib/java/xslp.jar
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/local/lib/java/xp.jar
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/local/lib/java/xt.jar
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/local/lib/java/xalan.jar
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/local/lib/java/ant.jar
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/local/lib/java/javac.jar
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/local/lib/java/fesi.jar
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/local/lib/java/fop.jar
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/home/balld/src/xml-cocoon/build/Cocoon.jar

that's everything (i think) that's required to run cocoon-1.6 (maybe even
some extraneous stuff). I do still have trouble rebuilding cocoon until I
remember to delete sun's parser (i must need to switch some things around
still), but I can live with that. Xerces was compiled from CVS recently,
Xalan is latest binary build. Are there any additions, subtractions, or
modifications to the list?

This is a problem for which Donald Ball already found a solution:

This happened to me as well. I fixed it by placing Xerces before Xalan
in the classpath setting.
